Paddy is a perennial plant, in some areas especially in temperate regions it is cultivated as a biennial plant. Paddy can be cultivated for up to 30 years. The growth and production of paddy often depends on the fertility of the soil.

Paddy trees are usually 1-1.6 m (3.3-5.9 ft) tall. Its leaves are slender, elongated in shape. Leaves 50-100 cm. (20-39 inches) tall and 2-2.5 cm. (0.79-0.98 inches) wide.

The seed is eaten as food, it is called grain. Seeds are usually 5-12 mm. Long and 2-3 mm. Becomes thick. [1]

In areas where rainfall is high or low lands, paddy is good. It is also cultivated on hills or hill slopes. Paddy cultivation is highly labor intensive. It requires a lot of labor, so it is easy to cultivate paddy in areas where labor costs are low. Its native plant habitats are Asia and Africa.

In order to cultivate paddy, first a seedbed has to be prepared, the seeds have to be sprinkled there and irrigated for a few days, then when small seedlings are ready, they are picked up and planted in the main land. Moreover, direct seeds are also cultivated by scattering on the main land. Paddy cultivation requires a lot of water. Water is stored at the base of the tree for a long time. Usually water is retained by making pipes and isles. Rice production may be reduced due to weeds, diseases and insects. Radi rats are one of the main enemies of rice. Usually weeds can be reduced by keeping water in the soil.

The product of rice is called rice. Rice is made from this rice which is the main food of Bengalis.
